COOKING STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Pateni-gd A 25 1922' Application filedMarch 28, 1921 Serial No. 456,063. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED J. RnunY', a citizen of the United States,residing at Battle Creek county of Calhoun, State of Michigan, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Stoves, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cooking stoves.

The main objects of this invention are:

First to provide an improved cooking stove having an elevated oven whichis very efficient.

Second, to provide a cookingstove having an elevated oven which iscompact and comparatively simple and economical .in structure.

Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, willdefinitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and meansdescribed in the following specification. The invention is clearlydefined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention clearlyillustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of thisspecification, in which:

Fig. I is a left hand elevation .of a cooking stove embodying thefeaturesof my invention. r

Fig. II is a front elevation, the smoke flue at the rear being indicatedby dotted lines.

Fig. III is a detail vertical section on a line corresponding to line3-3 of Fig. II, the damper controlling the oven heating flue and smokeflue by-pass being adjusted to close the oven heating flue.

'Fig. IV is a detail vertical section corresponding to that of Fig. IIIwith the damper controlling the oven heating flue, open.

Fig. V is a side view of the damper operating mechanism with the dampersindicated by dotted lines adjusted to the position in Fig. III.

Fig. VI is a similar elevation of the-damper operating mechanism withthe dampers adjusted to the position shown in Fig. IV.

Fig. VII is a detail horizontal section on a line corresponding to line7-7 of Fig. II,

just above the stove top, a part being broken I awayshowing thearrangement of the baffle in the smoke flue and fire pot chamber.

In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts.throughout the fire pot chamber orrtop flue 3 extendingover v v the topof the stove and a warming oven 4 at the side of the fire pot. At therear of the stove is a vertical smoke flue 5 into which the chamber 3opens. A partitionorbafiie 6'extends from the front ofthe lowerend ofthis smoke flue and projects forwardly into the top flue 3 providing adirect pas sage from the fire pot to the smoke flue and an indirectpassage around the balflethrough the fire pot chamber when the directpassage is closed by the damper.

The stove is provided with lids 7 located above the fire pot and lidsSlocated above-the fire pot chamber, theproducts of combustion whenpassing around the bafile dbeingdirected below the rear pair of lids 8.

The direct passage 9 "of the smoke flue is controlled by a damper 10.When this damper is open, the products of combustion.

will, in the main, pass directly-to the smoke fiue as indicated in Fig.IV. When it is closed as'shown in Fig. III, th products of combustionare compelled to-pass around the baflie. i

The oven 11 is mounted above the stove top, being supported by end br;ackets12,;the I rear portion of the oven being offset rearwardly so thatit is directly above the smoke flue 5. The oven is provided with asurrounding heating flue 13 communicating with the smoke flue throughthe opening 14- so that the products of combustion pass directly intothe smoke flue against the bottom of the oven and thence around the ovenand out the discharge 15 at the top. At

the rear of the oven is a smoke flue by-pass 16 connected at its upperend to the smoke flue which is adapted to receive the stove nets ofcombustion through the oven flue and I a part through the bypass. V

For convenience in manipulation the dampers 10 and 17 are connected bythe link 19, the dampers being provided with arms 20 to which the linkis connected. The upper damper is provided with an arm 21 to which theactuating bar 22 is connected, the bar being supported by a strap guide23 on the side of one of the oven supporting brackets so that itsforward end is in a convenient position to be grasped when the operatoris standing at the front of the stove. The underside is notched foradjustment on a lug 23' in the guide 28.

With this arrangement of parts, it is found that the oven is effectivelyheated for baking and other purposes, that the heating thereof may bequite accurately controlled and that the stove is economical in thematter of fuel.

I have illustrated and described an adaptation of my improvements whichI have found very practical. I have not attempted to describe certainmodifications and adaptations which might be desirable in embodying myimprovements to other structures as I believe the disclosure made willenable those skilled in the art to which my invention relates to embodyor adapt the same as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:

1. The combination in a cooking stove including a fire pot and a topline and lids over said fire pot and chamber,-of a vertical smoke flueat the rear into which said top flue opens, a vertically disposed bafflein front of the lower end of said smoke flue extending forwardly intosaid top flue pro viding a direct passage from said fire pot to saidsmoke flue and a passage around said bafiie, a damper for the directpassage, an oven supported in an elevated position and provided with asurrounding heating flue with a discharge at the top, said oven beingoffset rearwardly over said smoke flue which has a direct deliveryconnection to its said heating fine, a smoke flue by-pass disposed atthe rear of said oven, a damper common to said oven heating and by-passfiues adapted to close one as the other is opened and vice versa, andoperating connections for said dampers arranged so that when the baffledamper is open-the oven heating fine is opened and vice versa.

2. The combination in a cooking stove including a fire pot and a topflue, of a vertical smoke flue at the rear into which said top flueopens, a vertically disposed baffle in front of the lower end of saidsmoke flue extending forwardly into said top flue providing a directpassage from said fire pot to said smoke fine and a passage around saidbaffle, a damper for the direct passage, an oven supported in anelevated position and provided with a surrounding heating fine to whichsaid smoke flue delivers, said heating flue having a discharge at thetop, a smoke flue by-pass disposed at the rear of said oven, a dampercommon to said oven heating and bypass flues adapted to close one as theother is opened and vice versa, and operating connections for saiddampers arranged so that when the baflie damper is open the oven heatingflue is opened and vice versa.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presenceof two witnesses.
